Subject: Require disclosure of corporate spending in politics.

January 31, 2012

Securities and Exchange Commission

Dear Commission,

Right now, Super PACs don't have to disclose their unlimited corporate
donations. That means they can keep the public in the dark about who's
funding the attack ads that bombard their TV screens daily.

That's why I'm joining with the 14 United States senators who formally
asked you to use your regulatory authority to require that corporations
disclose their spending in elections.

SEC: Exercise your regulatory authority to require public disclosure of
corporate political contributions.

Corporations are not people and should have to disclose where they
donate money to political campaigns. The "people" who work
for corporations don't make the decisions about which political
campaign the money goes to-only the few at the top who are already
wealthy in their own right and probably very conservative in the
political views. Why would they want to change anything? If
corporations had to disclose who they supported, I might be able to be
informed about whether or not I wanted to do business with them.....
